1. The Treo xxx? Well, this Treo is sexy, isn’t it?

2. So what’s the point of this picture? The reset hole! It’s located at the back right under the SD slot, and the idea is that you can use it without having to unscrew the pin from the stylus or finding a paperclip. This is 21st century engineering at its best: instead of making the OS more robust so that you don’t have to reset, you simply make it easier to reset.

3. The removable battery. Very nice. It’s rechargeable Li-ion battery, 3.7V 1900mAH. The Treo 600 has an 1800mAH so the new one should last slightly longer - although things like hi-res screen and BlueTooth are likely to have a serious impact on battery life.

4. Not much news here as the design appears to be exactly the same as the GSM model. Compared to the Treo 600, the keyboard is more rounded, the keys themselves appear to be more flat, the Home button is now at more logical location and the Alt function has moved from the zero key to where the Home button used to be. The Power Off button (the most left of the 4 hard buttons) is now the only button for powering off. I’m looking forward to trying this keyboard as I have good hopes it will match the usability of the Treo 270 keyboard, which I’ve always believed to be better than the 600’s.

It’s a matter of taste, but the new antenna is even more ugly than the 600 antenna.

5. Pick up your Treo 600 and compare it to the new connector. It’s different, isn’t it? Say bye bye to your current accessories. The good news is the headset plug: to me that does look like it’s 3.5 mm, which would mean no more adapters to fit common headphones and headsets.

At the top right you can see the mic, slightly closer now to where your mouth will be when you’re making calls.

6. Difficult to tell if SD cards will no longer stick out. To me it looks like the fake card that is inserted in this picture is actually rounded and doesn’t have exactly the same size as a standard SD card.

7. Okay, new stylus. The tip is fixed now because they improved the reset hole (see above)

8. The Battery app you’re seeing looks awefully similar to the one that was accidentally left on somebody’s Treo 600 after a repair job. Don’t expect this app to be available on the production model, it’s probably only for test purposes.

9. Bluetooth. No way to tell which version. While we’re at it: no WiFi.

10. I’m not a Bluetooth expert, but this looks to me like what one should expect as support for Bluetooth on a modern phone.

11. The Treo 650 runs on Palm OS Garnet v.5.4.5.

12. Let me know if you can read the version number of the Applications manager.

13. Erm…my Treo 600 says that I have 23.8 Mb RAM available to myself, out of the 32Mb on the device. Are we loosing another 3 Mb here? Particularly frustrating when you realize that the Tungsten 5 will have a whopping 256 Mb (two hundred and fifty six) on board. And what 10 MB of applications were actually installed on top of the standard applications by cashdad?

14. Camcorder! Given the 1.3MP camera, this could mean some good fun. The Contacts app has its own icon again in the launcher. Battery, DcInstaller (can we get a copy of that please???!!!) and Debug Prefs are all applications that you won’t have on the retail version.

15. I like the new dialpad, though I’m sure somebody will figure out to AQUA it again so you don’t worry if you don’t like it. I’m assuming that the little block at the bottom is simply replacing the current 4 options on the 600, but I’m silently hoping it will allow for scrolling through your Favorites.

16. Not much new here. Because we don’t know what cashdad installed himself, we don’t know which of the apps were installed by default. My guess is that he installed VersaMail himself, as he only had the phone for one hour and managed to fill up 10 Mb of RAM. Or maybe it’s included and he simply synched a lot of mail. Feel free to make your own guesses.

18. Note the little metal that acts as a mirror to help making pictures of yourself.

19. Ha! Built-in 2x zoom for the camera.

20. Combine a hi-res screen with a 1.3MP camera and all of a sudden it will actually be a pleasure to use the Treo camera.

21. You have to play darts know to set up the digitizer.

22.Fuzzy picture, isn’t it?

23. "Pics&Videos"? Is it a catalog manager? A media player? And what is the "Software" icon for?

24. World Clock: fair chance it will be a better clock then what the Treo 600 offers. "T.V." is yet another test application that you won’t see on the retail version.

25. Even with a simple game like Tetris you can already tell that playing games on the 650 will be joy joy joy, thanks to the hi-res screen.

26. Subtle detail: the arrows on the 5-way light up in the dark!

27. No comments.

28. A Debug application. If you really want this on your retail version you can download the PalmOS SDK for the 650 when it becomes available.

29. The browser looks WebPro-ish to me. Bye bye Blazer?
